Lightning Round Reviews #6!

It's that time again, folks! Super mega ultra fast waxy reviews for you served on a steaming hot blog-a-docious platter! :)
Candles From The Keeping Room's Strawberry, Raspberry and Guava
Cold Rating5.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10 
Throw Rating: 7.5/10 
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; while I'm not a huge fan of fruity scents on their own, this was refreshingly amazing. Strawberry, raspberry and guava go very well together! Must buy this in a bag!
Ollie's Soaps' Pink Serendipity
Cold Rating7/10
Lit Rating8/10 
Throw Rating: 7/10 
Overall Rating: 7.5/10;
Front Porch's Raspberry Coconut Cake
Cold Rating6/10
Lit Rating3.5/10 
Throw Rating: 5/10 
Overall Rating: 4.5/10; slightly rounded down; this has that weird greasy undertone note that a lot of Angie's bakery scents have, in my opinion. The raspberry was nice, but the buttery coconut mixed with the cake made for an un-fun time. I hate wasting tarts, but I had to toss this. MEH.
Crabby Candle Co.'s Adam & Eve
Cold Rating3/10
Lit Rating3.5/10 
Throw Rating: 3.5/10 
Overall Rating: 3/10; Josh swears he could smell this, but I got next to nothing when this was melting. It's a shame, when I bought it, it smelled really great. The container is the right kind of plastic, but somehow the scent was just gone.
Closet Full of Wax's Pink Peppermint
Cold Rating4/10
Lit Rating6/10 
Throw Rating: 5.5/10 
Overall Rating: 5/10; not super strong, not super great, but I did get a nice mixture of the two. It lasted about 7 hours, even though it wasn't very strong, like I said, the wisps kept the rating up on this one.
Candles From The Keeping Room's Lemon Lavender
Cold Rating6/10
Lit Rating5/10 
Throw Rating: 7/10 
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; the lemon in this was nice, but the lavender was medicinal smelling. It was strong, though, and was nice on laundry day. Not sure if I'd repurchase.
The Scented Princess' Peppermint
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 7/10 
Throw Rating: 6.5/10 
Overall Rating: 7/10; a great peppermint scent! I only with this would have lasted longer than 3 hours. Nice during sleep-time!
The Happy Little Bee's Cinnamon Apples
Cold Rating6/10
Lit Rating6.5/10 
Throw Rating: 5.5/10 
Overall Rating: 6/10; a great mix of spicy cinnamon and fresh apples! Would repurchase!
Front Porch's Serendipity Cupcakes
Cold Rating7/10
Lit Rating8/10 
Throw Rating: 8/10 
Overall Rating: 7.75/10; deserves the extra points! No weird undertone like so many of Front Porch's bakery scents have, great blend of serendipity and cupcakes! Love!
Rosegirls Peppermint Coconut Mallow
Cold Rating8/10
Lit Rating8.5/10 
Throw Rating: 8.5/10 
Overall Rating: 8.5/10; GREAT peppermint scent, the coconut is not very noticeable, but it's just great! Need more of this!

Hope you enjoyed! Also, it's TACO TUESDAY! Time for a margarita, y'all! :)

  2. Great bunch of melts! I didn't get much from Strawberry, Raspberry Guava the first time I melted it but I was able to snag another from a RR so I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl again! Haha we totally had tacos and margaritas for dinner too! Well...Bud Light Strawberry Lime-a-ritas haha.

    1. Rosegirls was opened at the end of April, but they have no intention of opening until June, unfortunately. They got swamped during their sale in April, people were buying large amounts due to the warm months coming up!
